    Need help sizing N2 filling bottles for gas bottle precharging. Simple

    I got the 37.5 lb answer as well, but my issue with that is that is assuming all of the gas from the supply bottles gets INTO the 3 15 gallon gas bottles I am trying to fill to 1200 psi. The supply bottles will all be depleted until they reach 1200 psi, not 0 psi. Their supply will not be...

    Need help sizing N2 filling bottles for gas bottle precharging. Simple

    I think I am just running my own mind in circles with this one, but I feel like I would ask you guys before committing to anything. I need to find out how much 2,200 psi nitrogen is needed in order to precharge (3) 15 gallon gas bottles with 1,200 psi of pressure each. The place we can order...

    First Impressions?

    I just downloaded it and am messing around with it. Looks very snappy, intuitive, and to make your own UI and personal profile seems to be a breeze, which is a big point for me. Hopefully it keeps SOME type of version as free, even when it goes commercial.

    Creating o-ring using profile, creating path with o-ring groove?

    I think I need to get premium to do the routing. :( Virtual components- I will look into that. Yeah, for the time being I just generate the piece by sweeping the profile along the path, but I was hoping that SW could kind of figure it out on its own, along with using the cord part number as...

    Creating o-ring using profile, creating path with o-ring groove?

    Well, let me clarify. I am not using o-rings. I am using o-ring material, .070 inches in diameter, viton, to act as a sealing gasket by fitting it into a groove on a cover. It needs to be about 2.25 ft long for this instance. I would like a way to have this cord o-ring material auto-path inside...

    Creating o-ring using profile, creating path with o-ring groove?

    Hello, I was hoping I could map the path I want by choosing a groove in a casing. The groove is designed to house a .070 inch diameter o-ring cord, which comes in 100 ft length, but gets trimmed to spec. What I would LIKE to do, is have SW create the path by following the groove, obviously, and...

    Transparency issues in assembly

    Hey, solved. The issue is with display states. there is a checkbox to link them to configurations. This needs to be unchecked. Then, there can not be two different configuration names that do not differ in configuration (i.e. I had a default and an EXTENDED, but both were the EXTENDED...

    Transparency issues in assembly

    I am using SW2009, I believe the first release. the graphics card is the 6800xt from nVidia. I am not sure if it is approved. the assembly changes the color scheme from the default config to the new config, even though I didn't choose any different visual aspects....why does it do that? I can...

    Transparency issues in assembly

    OK, so I figured out why it is doing this, now I need to figure something else out. It is because when I created a configuration, the display state went from display state 1-default, to the new configuration one (display state 2). I didn't change anything about how the components should LOOK...

    Transparency issues in assembly

    Hello, I am putting together an assembly, and for some reason or another, I now am unable to make parts transparent. They all went grey, even though some were blue and red etc. When i click change trans., it simply takes the lines off of the part, leaving just shaded with no lines. But alas, no...

    Anyone use any "cheap" 3D CAD programs for home with success?

    Hello everyone, I use SW at work, and they own the license. Needless to say, I can not afford to have one for my house (where I would also enjoy 3D CAD, either to work a little at home, or for pet projects of my own). I refuse to go the torrent/pirating route, as appealing as it is, it just...

    SW dwg NOT updating properly, not saving properly, edrawings fault?

    Good morning, I am in a very weird situation and I do not know what on earth to do about it. I have designed a frame, by making the individual square tubing pieces as parts, and then assembled them in SW. Everything went swimmingly. Then I made a drawing, and everything was fine. All was well...
